Laikipia Woman Rep Catherine Waruguru has urged Nyeri women to look for husbands outside Nyeri County.
Ms Waruguru said Nyeri men have failed in their duties and do not appreciate the beauty of their women.
The Woman Rep urged the women to look for men in Rift Valley who will appreciate them for who they are and who will even ask for their hand in marriage.
Ms Waruguru said that she was born and raised in Nyeri County before moving to Laikipia County due to scarcity of land.
She said while in Nyeri, she encountered the same problem explaining that men in Nyeri had not asked for her hand in marriage despite her striking beauty.
“We believe in a new Kenya where people love each other. Even single young girls here (Nyeri) should look for a Kalenjin to get married to.”
“When I was in Nyeri, none of the guys winked at me. But in Nanyuki, I met a Kalenjin guy who took me to Kericho,” she said.
Last month, Ms Waruguru who is a second wife was in the headlines when she together with her husband were denied access to the Sunshine Hotel in Kericho town for failure to produce a marriage certificate.
Here are reactions from Garissa residents on social media following her statement:
